Garamantia

Garamantia (500 BC-700 AD) was a Tuareg kingdom that existed in southern Libya. It was a regional power for 1,200 years.

History
The Garamantes came from the Fezzan region of southwestern Libya, and they were black-skinned Tuaregs, unlike their neighbors in Numidia, who were lighter Berbers. Garamantia made a trade agreement with Octavian's Rome in 36 BC, increasing their relations.
